The inhabitants of the Owlery weny south. We went to Haraldsted, a little village in southern Zealand. This place was a known pilgrimage before the reformation in Denmark. In 1331 Duke Canute was killed there and a spring sprnag forth. He vas canonized in 1170.

Haraldsted kirke er meget stor af en landsbykirke at være.Men de er jo også bygget som valfartskirke.The church in Halaldsted is big for the village.It was built to make place for all the pilgrims before the reformation.

I followed your link and then another one... and discovered Denmark has a few recognised saints. We only have one : Mary McKillop. It's always uplifting to go on a pilgrimage, especially in the company of good people and a handsome dog!

. If you look at the last 400 years Australia and Denmark have the same number of saints, as all the Danish saints are pre-reformation saints, the only "new" one is Blessed Niels Steensen, who died in 1686.
